In February 2017 we launched a new page to help families identify potential twins. This listing is based on common features such as same finding date, same location, same birth date, same physical descriptions, and compatible orphanage assigned names. The data is derived from our orphanage data books by a group of families from each of the orphanages, as well as other records. You can peruse the list under the "Birth Parent Info" tab above.

Searching Birth Parents I
Back in the day (in other words, when our family first entered the Chinese adoption program), the conventional wisdom was that one of the positive attributes of the China program was the inability or indifference on the part of the birth parents inside China to ever "come knocking on my door." For decades, the only path for an adoptee to learn the identity of her birth parents was to search inside China, usually not successfully. But that paradigm is rapidly changing as birth parents inside China become more tech savvy, and the fear of discovery and punishment decreases. The result is that more and more birth families inside China are making efforts to locate their relinquished children. Over the next few months, Lan will share four stories of Chinese birth families who have begun the search themselves, using various means and avenues to learn the identities of their children's adoptive families.
